Anti-lock brake system. While driving along at aprox 40 mph with the windows up and air conditioning fan on high speed, I didn't hear an approaching fire truck as I neared an intersection. Upon entering the intersection, I was starteled by the loud blow of the fire truck's air horn and immediately slammed on the brakes. The anti-lock brakes system engage in a very perculiar manner! immediately upon feeling the brakes engage, the anti-lock brake system released the brakes and allowed my vehicle to coast forward nearly 20 yards before the brakes re-engaged bringing my vehicle to a halt. If it were not for the skillful driving of the fire truck's operators (both front and rear drivers) who swirved and steered around me, the outcome would have been disastrous (even fatal).
